The body of BDC member, Dinesh Bind, of Chanaura village was found near Patti Bejar, where railway tracks are being laid, station officer, Suryava police, Surendra Kumar Pandey said.
He said Bind had gone out of his home allegedly after receiving a call from the home of ex-BSP MLA Ravindra Tewari.
Tewari's younger brother won Block Pramukh election yesterday, Pandey said.
The alleged murder led to a strong protest by the locals who also beat up two home guard jawans and set their motorcycle on fire, the SO said.
